Highly recommend joining digipres.club! Misty and the moderators that help her do a great job of running a chill and interesting place free from all the annoying ads and algorithms of the commercial social media options.

digipres.club Hometown is adapted from Mastodon, a decentralized social network with no ads, no corporate surveillance, and ethical design.

Folks in digital preservation looking for a chill place to hang out off here - I run a digipres mastodon instance, digipres.club. I try to keep it running well and low stress. All are welcome.

The NDSA Digital Preservation conference is next week! Register here:
